Artica Chiller 1/5 Running Time

[angmoh]

Just want to find out more from you guys. What's your chiller running time ? Wanna see if my chiller is working at an optimum condition.

My Artica 1/5 hp is running on a 250 litres tank. Temperature set at 27C.

Chiller will kick in at 27.5C. Run about 30min to bring down to 27C.

Using LED, 33W return pump and a 11-W skimmer, 9W wavemaker.

I feel that the running time is a bit long.. not sure if the water flow is too high or low.

What about you guys? Please share. Thank you.

Sound reasonable enough it should rest for 1hr plus b4 the next kick-in. Am I right

you are right man.

It stopped at 7.40pm at the temperature of 26.9C. Now, after 1 hour is still 27C. I guess it can last for another 1 hour before it starts to kick in.

By the way, it will kick in at 0.5C rise? not 1C?

today my chiller is abnormal.

Temperature have been staying at 26.8C for more than 6 hours !! Chiller temperature is set at 26.5C

Then i realize that my room temperature is only 27C... i hope everyday the room temperature is like that...
